I've been feeling really worried because I started shivering and got a high fever just a few hours after my CeCT scan of the thorax. Should I be concerned about this, and is it something that could go away on its own in a day, or is it more serious?

Question

I'm wondering if it's safe for my 16-year-old daughter to get a chest x-ray. I know she's been advised to have one, but I'm concerned about how appropriate it is for her age. Should we be worried about any risks or try to avoid the x-ray altogether?

Question

I'm curious about how many X-rays are too many for someone. I've had about 610 X-rays by the time I turned 32. Could this amount lead to cancer if I get more in the future?

Question

I've had two CT scans within a four-month period during the COVID and post-COVID phase. I'm really worried about whether this could cause any issues or harm later on in my life.
